Brooklyn-based Aurora Halal will debut her live set, alongside Japan’s premier techno DJ Nobu, with support from Mumbai-based artistes Chhabb, Likwid and United Machines, on November 10 for the boutique electronic music festival Far Out Left.
On the first night of the festival to be held at the picturesque New Great Eastern Mills in Mumbai, red bull music will take over the stage with a special artiste line-up.

Aurora Halal, a producer, DJ and the creator of Brooklyn’s influential Mutual Dreaming party series and the Sustain-Release festival, will be debuting here. Shadowy and psychedelic, her hardware live and DJ sets have a hazy sensuality and metallic dance floor intensity that's at turns playful, dark, acidic, hard, euphoric and vulnerable.

In all her projects, she treats dance music as an arena for transformation, and underground as the final destination. She’s has spent the last years touring some of the most forward-thinking clubs, raves and festivals including Unsound, Atonal, Nachtdigital, and as a regular at Berghain and De School.

Japan's DJ Nobu is a disc jockey with no fixed style, but instead a real ability to draw on a wide world of music and cook up his own unique sound spaces.

He is something of a cult figure for those who know, and his decades of experience all get distilled at his acclaimed party Future Terror, his label Bitta and his few choice production outings. All of this has slowly but surely turned him from being one of Japan's, to one of the world's, most in demand selectors who is famously flexible and ever evolving.

Chhabb comes from the early generation of DJs of the Indian rave culture. For him, it originated from a crate digging culture. A big contributor to the experimental electronic movement in India, he has hosted and played alongside artists of The Bunker NY, Giegling, Mor Elian, Zenkar Brothers, Volte-face, Nathan Jonson and many more. Chhabb was featured on the Bunker New York radio show on Red Bull Radio earlier this year. His style is usually full of 303 based dark, industrial, textured techno, with some heavy breaks and electro.

Likwid is a multifaceted musician and media professional based out of Mumbai. He has spent the better part of the last decade honing his DJ skills playing some of the most eclectic dance floors and festivals around India. He has supported and played alongside some of the finest DJs and producers in the world, such as Ame, Etapp Kyle, Rodriguez Jr, M.A.N.D.Y. and Petar Dundov. A true connoisseur of techno, acid and disco, Likwid can move seamlessly from dark, claustrophobic passages to soulful and euphoric moods within a set – sometimes between moments. It is this very nature of his sets, which has won him a loyal following among the scene punters and music enthusiasts alike.

United Machines is a collective of analogue synths, samplers and drum machines fronted by Himanshu Pandey – an all-analogue, hardware-based setup with constantly changing live configurations and sounds. Each set by the United Machines is unique, with real time control and live improvisation. From FM synths to monosynth basslines, samples of vintage analogue synths mangled through digital samplers, vocoder laced vocal stabs or 303 squelches, it’s all there and computer free. Mumbai-based synthesist, multi-instrumentalist and equipment collector Himanshu conceptualised United Machines in 2013 as a live, improvisational act that moves across genres and setups for each unique set. Previous sets have included Lo-fi/Noiz synthesis at ReProduce LR Sessions in Pune and Mumbai, a modular synthesis set at Antisocial, An electro funk/disco set at Bonobo, juke/garage at Summerhouse, piano house/proto techno at The Den and acid house at Future Theory Festival.
